The Alley is a nice boba spot. My friends and I made a stop here after returning from a trip to a…read moreMexico and we were in search of a sweet treat. The group tried the Ube Taro Brown Sugar Boba Milk, Ube Brown Sugar Boba Creme Brulee Milk, Mango Green Tea, and Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie. Individual reviews of the Ube Brown Sugar were positive with notes that the boba was overcooked and there was a little too much boba for the liquid ratio. My friend enjoyed her Mango Green Tea and I did like the Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie. It was sweet and creamy, and more on the refreshing side. I got it without boba because I had a bit of an upset stomach while I still wanted something sweet. Didn't think adding boba would help with that! So I think it was good without. The staff was also helpful and tried to make sure we were clear on some of the quirks of potential drink flavors. Would return when I'm with my friends in the area again.

This was my first time visiting this location, and I must say that the quality of the teas is…read moregreat. Everything tastes fresh, and they offer a variety of options for everyone. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the poor customer service from one of the young ladies working there. She made my daughter and me feel very uncomfortable when we asked if one of the teas could be changed because it was too thick and sweet for my daughter's liking. Instead of simply trying to take care of the situation, she immediately said "NO" and made a disgusted face. Thankfully, Jeff stepped in, saved the day, and offered to make us a new drink. As a multiple-business owner myself, Jeff is exactly the type of employee I would want representing my business. He understood customer service and handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the other young lady. Her attitude and facial expressions were completely unnecessary and made the experience uncomfortable enough that even my daughter felt as though she had done something wrong simply for asking. Great teas, and thank you to Jeff for turning an unpleasant situation around.

I got a small iced vanilla latte with oatmilk, half espresso (I'm here for the creamy vibes not so much the coffee taste), plus vanilla cold foam and cinnamon sugar on top... sooo good. Smooth, sweet, and made exactly how I imagined it to be in my head. The guy working was really nice and even gave me a free sticker, which was a cute touch. They also do breakfast burritos on Sundays from 9-noon. Or atleast this Sunday they'll will... I'll definitely be back, and bringing my husband since he's the real coffee lover.

The menu options were simple, i don't know if making a concoction of flavors was possible but it didn't show. I like bitterness in my coffee and this had just a hint of it. We tried the mazapán and Mexican mocha, they were both good. Again, i prefer the stronger coffee flavor so for me it was subtle but still good. The flavor of mazapán was there but again, subtle. They were not overly sweet which I liked. We also tried a s'mores puerquito cookie which was also not overly sweet and good flavor. I will be back and ask if I could have my coffee made stronger, hopefully this helps! Our total for 2 coffees (hot and cold) and a puerquito was $14.50 Food/Coffee:**** Service:**** Ambiance:*

Thank you so much ! What a caffeine saver! Just dropped off my parents at CBX and was about to head…read morehome when I realize traffic was at its peak. So I looked up a coffee shop. Of course all I found was Starbucks close by and I truly hate Starbucks for they're so acidic and I like more of the mom and Pop shop. Man did I hit the jackpot! Not only is the Coffee fantastic with some great original recipes but this bad ass coffee shop is women run out of her apartment "hence the name". Now I get to go sit in less traffic with a smile on my face and a warm cuppa Joe in my hand Of course I had to order two different recipes. I got the cinnamon dolce and the rosemary iced latte. They are both perfectly made with the perfect amount of coffee to sugar ratio. She also had milk alternatives for me, so I got both with oat milk! Not to mention her website was so professional, and easy to use. Thanks again I hope your business thrives! Can't wait to come back next time I need a good coffee close to CBX! PS I'm buying two rosemary iced lattes next time!

The service was amazing everyone was so friendly, fast, and attentive. Even though it was busy, our food and drinks came out really quickly. I had the Teddy Bear Latte, and it was so cute!

For me, though, the lattes are the real reason I would come back. They're creative, delicious, and definitely worth trying. Small place, but great service and some really fun drinks!

Cafecito on Palm has doubled and tripled down on the community with their locations in IB and at Época, and I really appreciate that. The coffee is consistently good.

Definitely recommend supporting this family owned spot over the big chains down the road. Good coffee and a business worth supporting.

I had to do some work on my work Dell, but the battery sucks so I ran out in no time and there are no outlets for customers. minus 1-star. Met the owner and his partner. Cool folks. *** Revision 10/26 *** I fully believe the owners would let me charge my laptop so maybe a full star was a bit harsh. I would still recommend having some power outlets installed for convenience, but I'm not going to knock a full star off of the place for it.

I came alone but this would be a good spot for a group to work as well. I tried their classic matcha and I admit I was a bit scared when I first saw how light the color was... however I was pleasantly surprised after the first sip. The classic matcha does come unsweetened and this day I choose to not add a sweetener so I could get a feel for their matcha. It was a 3/5, not too bold, and I did pair it with oatmilk. The oatmilk wasn't as creamy as I would have liked to tie the drink together so it did feel a bit watered down. The matcha itself was very earthy, had to keep swirling it to get the matcha powder that settle at the bottom to mix in. I would try this with just a bit of honey next time or regular milk to see how it improves flavor. I don't remember how much I paid for it... but regardless, it was a good drink so I'm not upset about it! The only thing I didn't like at this spot was how loud the music was. It felt a little drowning. I don't think if I had someone in front of me we could hear each other without having to raise our voices. Other than that, the A/C was okay. It wasn't super warm inside but also not cold. It was a good ambient temperature. The staff were relatively polite. The vibe was... weird (a little condescending) but not too disturbing where it would make me not want to return. Perhaps they're just awkward. This is located in a HOA area I believe so maybe that influences people attitudes or the vibes in the store. Will return to try more drink!

These jovial ladies make it a pleasure to visit and process orders quickly. It is amazing how they where everything is without looking, the price and what is best. They could practically run the place with blindfolds. Prices are reasonable too. My son gets the hot chocolate usually with a sandwich. I go for some type of frapp with a blueberry muffin. Well blended for my taste. Makes the wait enjoyable feeling the warmth go down my throat into my belly. The size might be small for some but they are right for me. They are located in the 1st floor of the pharmacy wing. If you enter from the parking lot, they will be on the left side before you make the right towards the pharmacy. If you forget you can ask the information desk as you enter and they'll just point to the location. This Kaiser is busy making parking a tad tough at times. i don't like to come here just for the coffee but it is conveniently located right before the on ramp to the freeway. Nice to have for a long drive.
